Harbor bill of the present session (which
was not signed by the Presidency, and the
Deficiency bill, on which the conference
report was not submitted in time for
action. Fifty bills were ''pocket vetoed"
by the President, The most imortant
were.
To prevent the employment of convict and
alien labor on public works; to open to settle
ment the public-land strip south of Kansas;
for the construction of Federal buildings at
Monroe, La, and Saginaw Mich; the O'Neill
Labor Arbitration bill; the Morrison surplus
resolution; to annex part of Idaho to Wash
ington Territory; for holding terms of court at
Duluth. Mimi. and Corinth. Miss.
MEASURES THAT FAILED.
The Northern Pacific Forfeiture bill and
the Pre- Emption- Repeal bill failed in con.
ference, while the bill to create a Depart
ment of Agriculture and Labor was killed
by the inability of its friends to send it to
conference committee. About $50 bills
and resolutions which passed the House
failed in the Senate, and about $50 meas
ures which passed the Senate were defeat
ed in the House. The most important bills
defeated were:
The Blair Education al bill; the Cameron-Hale
twin bills for the increase of The navy: the Nc
ington Territory Admission bills the Chicago
Dearborn Park bill the Eads bill; the Nicara-
qua Canal bill; the Morrison and other tariff
bills; the Pacific railroad funding bills to es-
tablish uniform bankruptcy law; the Pacific
funding bill; the Hennepin Canal bill; the Okla
horna bill; the Dunn Free-Shp bill; to repeal
the Civil Service law; to grant woman suffrage;
the PostalTelegraph bill, and the International
Copyright bill.
The failure of the Deficiency bill is likely
to embarrass the postal service, as it con-
tanned provisions for supplying pressing
demands for postal cards, stamps and other
items. The legal machinery of the Govern
ment will also be materially disarrangeG
during the remainder of the fiscal year, as ne
money will be available for jurors, wit
nesses' or marshals' fees, and many pris.
oners can not be tried for months to come
A number of soldiers claims, aggregating
100000, which had been certified by the
treasury, will fail also of settlement
Navy Department officials say the failure
of the bill will cause stoppage of all
WORK on the new cruisers Boston and Chi
cago. It is expected that the Alta ia car
be completed, as but little remains to be
done on her.

BY Captain Shaw's report on the
London Fire Department we learn that
fires in 1886, though below the number
for 1885, show substantial increase
upon the average for the past ten
years. Without count of the false al
arms, there were 2,149 calls in cases
which resulted in actual damage. The
engines attached to the land stations
made S2,S32 journeys, and used ten
million gallons of water, The general
total gives an average of twelve calls a
day, or rather, more, which had to be
answered by force of $50, devided in
to two sections.
